After Rachel finished her encore, she let the audience know she'll be sticking around after the show for a meet and greet and left the stage. Before heading over to the merchandise stand to see Rachel, I was able to take a picture of her set list, so it would be easier for me to edit the video footage I took that night. Once I packed up, I realized something different that hasn't happened in the past shows with Rachel. There was a line to meet the talented musician. The first two times I went to see Rachel perform, there wasn't a long line, or any line at all, and I was able to see her as soon as she cleaned up backstage.
Once it was my turn to see Rachel, she looked at me and recognized me. She gave me a huge hug and thanked me for coming out. She noticed my camera gear and knew I captured the whole show like I did last time she was here. I talked to her for a bit and asked her for a picture.I didn't have anything for her to sign since I already had her sign her album last time, so she was really thoughtful and signed a promotional picture of her. I wish had printed out a 8x10" picture of me and her from the last show. I'm sure she will be back and I'll be able to have it signed next time.
I took a good handful of pictures from the show and they can be seen by clicking on the image or link below.
